Christmas Week

Welcome to Christmas Week here at OPOD. We will be looking at Christmas Traditions throughout this week, starting with this picture of the National Christmas Tree in Washington DC. The picture was taken in 1938.

What a difference a few decades make. No concrete barricades, no dudes with dark sunglasses and things in their ears, no protesters, etc. This really is wonderful -- peaceful and fun, all at the same time.

About Me

I grew up in West Texas, and could not wait to get away. I got away, and went to the University of Texas, and then on to Stanford. I saw the world, and decided what I really wanted was to be in West Texas. So here I am, right back where I started. I had it all, and found it was not that great.

I have been an avid collector of old photographs and documents for over 30
years. The photographs on this site are derived from material I have collected
over the years. Some came from old family albums, some from material I bought at
flea markets over the years, and some from government archives of public domain
images, including the US Library of Congress, and the National Archives. We
appreciate you visiting this blog, and hope you find it interesting.
